Poem Artwork

You are a star.
a mere twinkle in the skies of poetry
Hush.  Repeat after me.  I AM A STAR.
if i am a star
then why don't i feel like one yet?

Hush.  Repeat after me.  I.  AM!  A.  STAR.
I.  AM!  A. STAR.

You are a Poet.
my poems are drowned in an ocean of words
Hush.  Repeat after me.  I AM A POET.
if i am a poet
then why don't i feel like one yet?

Hush.  Repeat after me.  I.  AM!  A.  POET.  (Capital 'P,' please!)
I  AM!  A.  POET.

this is silly.  what's the purpose in--

Hush.  We're not through.  Listen to me.  Believe in yourself, and you can do anything.

You are a Light.
yeah and my light burned out a long time ago
Hush.  Repeat after me.  YOU ARE A LIGHT.
if i am a light
then why don't i feel like one yet???

Hush.  Repeat after me.  I.  AM!  A.  LIGHT.
I.  AM!  A.  LIGHT.

You are a Reacher.
my words?  reaching someone?  think you've got the wrong--
HUSH.  Repeat after me.  I AM A REACHER.
if i am a reacher
but why don't i feel like one yet?
Hardheaded, are we?  Repeat:  I.  AM!  A.  REACHER.
I.  AM!  A.  REACHER.

Do you feel any different?  Do you feel the Power inside?  You ARE a star.  You ARE a Poet.  You ARE a Light.  You ARE a Reacher.  You are anything you want to be.  All you need is faith.

hey, yeah!  i do feel...something...like it's wanting to burst free...

I.  AM!!  A.  STAR.
I.  AM!!  A.  POET.
I.  AM!!  A.  LIGHT.
I.  AM!!  A  REACHER.

This is going with me to my poetry masterclass tomorrow, Karla! Thank you! Mega-mwahs! Have just come back from a writing weekend in which I faced my fear of reading in front of all the seasoned and "famous" writers on my course... and read them "Feet Smell"! Honest truth!! The worst thing is that some of THEM were even more nervous about reading in front of each other than I was!! So, Lady, it don't seem to get any easier for any of us - from the greatest to the least. BUT, we all NEED to hear and receive the truth of your very wise and encouraging words above: I AM...!!! Yes indeedy, Maam... you sure ARE!! Bless you, Kate xx

Karla, An AWESOME Pep talk! You've done good! Self-doubt. It's an ugly ugly feeling. But so many times we get stuck in it's rut and before we know it instead of continuing to try to get out we just simply lay down and die in it. It's sorrowful but it happens daily.
Great write Karla! Just great!

Lisa

ps: I can assure you I am just fine! Promise!
